Chocolate is rich in magnesium and antioxidants. Yes that’s right! Chocolate can be good for you! If you make your own with loads of LOVE. You can skip all the nasties and common allergens found in supermarket chocolate like soy, dairy, thickeners, preservatives and additives.
I like a rich, dark chocolate and I’m sure you will love this too! If you prefer a plain chocolate, just omit the essential oils. If you want to get creative you could add in nuts, cacao nibs, seeds or even dried fruit like coconut, goji berries or organic dried apricots. I also love to add frozen raspberries to the moulds before I pour the chocolate into the moulds. The flavor combo is amazing!
Why not make some for your friends and family for Easter? Just remember they must stay cold or they will melt as they have no nasties in them to keep them in a solid state. I keep some in the fridge and some in the freezer (if it lasts that long) to help it to keep longer.
